Thank you for tutorial! Got a problem when you're connecting the extruded table sides with "Keep Points Shared". I can't find the option in the parameters. I assume I have to add it through the parameters option, but I don't know how.
I followed along and double checked but for some reason the normals on the table legs end up facing inwards for me, and I have to use a reverse node to get them back to face outward.
What numbers you type and where 1:36.I just wanted just try apprentice version. For Cinema 4D user the gui is bit different. I cannot see any color in grid, where I can change it?
Well done videos, thank you very much. On first watching a few other tutorials I was thinking this program is just wrong in it,s methods. Not any more thanks to you !
Hi oscaro, it is with great pleasure that I followed your tutorial. my difficulty lies in the use of polyExtrude. in this tutorial you use an older version of Houdini (14, I think) in which the properties of polyExtrude are different from those of the version 16 of houdini I use. can you do a tutorial where you go explain the method with the polyExtrude 2.0 thanks I am French, so excuse the quality of
Advection357 Well it might turn things quite hairy is an understatement. Making complex things might be very complicated in the beginning, but the amount of flexibility this provides, especially regarding how easy it is to change anything you might have not thought of in the beginning, is in IMHO definitely worth the nightmare. Apart from that, I find the process of figuring out how to get something specific working, the breakdown, the logic to be an exhilarating process. Its fun! :)
Ah forgot about this comment now that I'm getting into Houdini lol... Seems like it's not an issue... I can just collapse/lock the nodes anyway. It's nice because I assumed all those 100's of modelling operators were going to get re-evaluated all the time... which would be insane... that's like not freezing your operator stack in Softimage... or not converting to polymesh after lots of modifiers in 3ds max
for some reason this keeps coming up as green I know it's a keyframe but everytime i try to delete the keyframe it also deletes the expression do you know how i can fix it i have a talking showing you what I mean th-cam.com/video/bxTG6baY7Ec/w-d-xo.html Thanks
I suspect you could model this table in Houdini in under 2 minutes as well, but the creator of this tutorial wanted to cover as many features as possible. It’s been a while since I opened the program, but I presume it has a cube primitive and a scale operation, which is all you need.
It's called a tutorial mate.... teaching people how to do it, running through why he is choosing each parameter so we can learn. Houdini pro's could make the table in less than 2 minutes easily. You also seem to be missing the point that Houdini is not really designed around detailed modelling, it's more for VFX and procedural modelling. You can also always build your detailed model in other 3D programs and import them very easily if that's what you require....
You don't end up with a procedural table though in " other 3d programs" You don't even have a graph, just a stack of modifiers. Good luck with that. I'll stick with Houdini.
I've found it very tough to find Houdini tutorials that don't leave me more confused than when I started, but I truly love this series, thank you,
feel the same way
Great example. Only just started your tutorials, but you do a great job explaining clearly. Thank you and keep up the great work!
Copy node is now called Copy Stamp in Houdini 16
When i use copy stamp node,the legs are not in the middle of points's grid,can you help me ?
Thank fucking god. You are a legend.
Just wanted to say hey , hope you are still making video's for houdini, and love your take on this modelling section! Thank you.
Great 👌👌👌👌 thanks for awesome info
Man thanks for the videos you are amazing!

Wow, you have made modeling a simple table, complicated! Houdini is off my Christmas list

thanks sir....it easy to understand step by step..now m working with modeling very easily
+shashank tyagi Most welcome mate! :)

Wonderful! I never liked Houdini because it is not as intuitive as Modo or Maya but this really helps!
do you know more toturials for non procedural modelling in houdini ?
i cant find the group options in my version 18. help ??
which version you are using?
Thank you sir !! you saved my life today !!
dude.. when at last I altered the thickness of the legs, a new node popped up as "edit1". what's that supposed to mean?

My opinion is the best 3D software ever is 3D max and Zbrush and Cinema 4D
Sir..
cache-file very lag..
my PC is i7 8gb, 4gb graphics,
but Houdini software very very show...
Making something more complex will turn that node editor into a nightmare... Why complicate things for no reason?

eosa
What version of Houdini is this ? 15.5?
Apparently not Houdini 16 :-/
It can't be 16, he put this video when 14 was the new version: www.sidefx.com/changelog/?page=198&show_versions=True&show_compatibility=True

GODLIKE
It takes less than 2 minutes to model a table in any other 3D programs. Imagine trying to model a character in Houdini.

@@mborok actualy it takes less then 30s in fusion 360 :/
*Laughs in VEX*
Upset i cant find any of these controls in 17 version. Sigh*
Other than that great tutorial
my copy node has only one input. can anyone help me with this?
nevermind found it. Latest version seem to call it "copytopoints". Awesome tutorial series thanks :)
use copy stamp node
Ugh, this node workflow makes my head hurt.
